A recent stay at the Best Western was disappointing. I selected it because of its location and availability on short notice, and that's exactly what I got. The public areas of the hotel are consistent with an older budget property, although there is a flat-screen in the lobby. The room furnishings are dated and worn, and the room was not very clean. The furniture seemed to be a mishmash of someone's leftovers. We had a table but no chairs to pull up to it. There were a couple of upholstered chairs, but they were sagging and looked to have been slept in recently. The hotel was noisy to the point that I finally resorted to earplugs. Unfortunately, I took them out and had to listen to the people in the next room talk loudly from about 5:00 on. The breakfast did not improve matters. The options were consistent with a budget hotel. There might have been a few more choices, but the attendant did not fill/refill. There was an emply hot dish, for example, that apparently contained something at some point, but between 6:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. it was empty. Another dish apparently was supposed to contain yogurt, because he was filling it for the first time as we left. All in all, it was not a pleasant stay other than the short drive to the Yellowstone entrance.

This is one of 2 or 3 Best Westerns in West Yellowstone. We stayed here because of its close location (less than one mile) to the gates of Yellowstone Park. We had a standard room with 2 queen beds. The rooms were oversized with 2 comfortable chairs off to the side and plenty of foot room. We also had a microwave and nice sized refrigerator in the room. The two nights spent at this hotel were the best of our trip!

Excellent. I expected budget accommodation given the price but was pleasantly surprised. The room and bathroom was really nice and felt quite luxurious. The room was really large. Good and free wifi. Great location, very close to yellowstone park west entrance and lots of restaurants nearby. It did have a pool and jaccuzi, but we never used it so can't really comment but looked fine.Only downside was that the breakfast was pretty poor, but I think you already get a lot more than what you can expect for the price.

Room was dirty. Sink overflow was disgusting, dust in shower room and on top of best head. Towels were dingy and well worn. Breakfast was sparce and served on polystyrene plates. I cannot imagine how they got a Best Western rating

This was motel-USA-standard. Nothing was in any way out of the ordinary. On the positive side, it was clean, the beds were comfortable, and as a base for touring the western part of Yellowstone NP it was just fine. We had not realized how small West Yellowstone is....really any hotel in town is located OK for park touring and eating meals in the town.

This hotel was pretty decent. Close to everything and the upgraded rooms were a plus. The breakfast was okay but a different variey would be nice. If we ever head back to Yellowstone, we'll definitely head back to this place.
